They don't offer any. Going back to caves? Energy rationing? I'd *love* to be able to put up some solar panels on my roof and call it the day but that isn't there yet (being 30+ cents per KWh).

Fukushima was the result of incompetence of Tepco. It leaked even before tsunami hit. After it hit, instead of trying to restore pumping ASAP, they acted indecisively, tried to cover up and lied a lot.

Well, I'm only about 70% Libertarian. I don't think 100% Libertarianism would work. But that's besides the point. I think you should be able to say what you want without being shut up. The moderation system on /. is broken.

I've also been on /. for a while now (~12 years I think) and it's special to me too. Sad to see it turn ever more into an echo chamber.

Someone said that Slashdot is a giant echo chamber. The majority shuts up the minority by down-modding. I believe the moderator guidelines say you shouldn't down-mod an opposing point of view (quote):

Concentrate more on promoting than on demoting. The real goal here is to find the juicy good stuff and let others read it. Do not promote personal agendas. Do not let your opinions factor in. Try to be impartial about this. Simply disagreeing with a comment is not a valid reason to mark it down. Likewise, agreeing with a comment is not a valid reason to mark it up. The goal here is to share ideas. To sift through the haystack and find needles. And to keep the children who like to spam Slashdot in check.

I guess the majority of moderators didn't read that. This moderator oppression is Slashdot's fault. Since they don't seem to be able to stop moderators down-modding posts they don't agree with, maybe they should disable down-modding altogether?

I get mod points every six months these days and when I do, I try prevent what's happening to you. I think I get killed on meta-modding because I try promote interesting views. I peeked through your down-modded comments and none of them were trolling or inflammatory. Comments like yours are why I read comments on Slashdot at all. Once they've shut you up, I'll stop reading comments.

I *never* click on links in email that imply they take me to a login or support page.

Excellent idea. I cut and paste the link and checked that it came from EA mail servers. But you're right, it's unprofessional of them.

I generated a unique e-mail address for Bioware forums way back when NWN first came out. I started getting spam on that address in the last couple of weeks. So it's likely this didn't happen in the last couple of days.

I got the e-mail from Bioware about the breach only yesterday.

Maybe there's so little factual criticism because most of those leftists are neocons at heart. Try Glenn Greenwald. He's a leftist I genuinely respect. Plenty of criticism of actual policy and broken promises.

While it's true that big pharma is far from innocent when it comes to corrupting the system, this is a little out there:
Pharma companies make billions producing vaccines. Vaccines do nothing to reduce disease
Sure. And I'm Peter Pan.
